We have been given the data:
Equation of the line: 3x - 7y = 9
To write the equation in slope-intercept form
First of all, the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is given by
y = mx + c
where m = slope
c = intercept
So to write 3x - 7y = 9 in this form, we will follow the steps below
Step 1: make y the subject of the formula
• Let 7y be on the left-hand side while 3x and 9 on the right-hand side
,
• -7y = -3x + 9
,
• 7y = 3x - 9
Step 2: Divide both sides by 7.
The equation in slope-intercept form is =>
Part B
To get the slope of the line, we will simply compare it with the general equation of a line (y=mx + c) which
where m = slope
